The July release of the free updates is just the beginning:

This summer's launch is just the first step in an endless rolling Windows release cycle.
Some features that have been demonstrated publicly will not be available in the initial launch version. The promised support for extensions in the new Microsoft Edge browser (previously code-named Project Spartan) will come later, for example, as will support for packaged Windows desktop apps delivered through the Windows Store.
As ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley has previously reported, Microsoft plans a major feature update for Windows 10, code-named Redstone, in 2016. That's just the first of several major updates to Windows 10 coming in the next few years.
Some enterprise features are also likely to lag the initial launch, coming before or in sync with the launch of Windows Server 2016 next year.
Microsoft didn't offer any definitive word on when new PCs and tablets with Windows 10 will appear, but one exec told me to expect a much shorter window than in previous Windows releases. In both the Windows 7 and Windows 8 cycles, for example, the RTM date was in July, but PCs weren't available for sale until October. This time, the window before OEM devices are available could be weeks.

Looks like they're going to use the XBOX ONE model of regular (monthly?) updates that not only patch bugs and security but also add entirely new apps and features. On the gadget side it will make Windows devices an ever-moving target. The glass house gang will grumble bug they always grumble anyway.
Calibre users should feel right at home.
